While we all purify our drinking water, very rarely do we think of treating and cleaning our underground water tanks. When water first comes in, it gets stored in an underground tank and is then pumped to the top of the building. Being underground, these tanks are prone to fungi, insect and even worm infestations. These are usually spotted when insects come out through the water or when there is a discoloration in the water. Treating these infestations quickly ensures that your water is safe and decreases the chance of spread of diseases.

Common reasons for dirty tanks

The spread of infections takes place mostly due to the location of the tank. Sometimes it can also be due to the quality of water supplied. Water, with a lot of iron in it can corrode your tank, making it more susceptible to bacterial and fungal growth. If the total dissolved solids in the water is high, then chances of sedimentary accumulation also increase. Hard water also tends to erode tank material. These sediments get detached and come out through your tap. Using such water is highly risky as it holds greater possibility of spreading diseases. Tank cleaning is very important and should be done at least once a year.

What is the process of cleaning a water tank?

Cleaning a water tank, especially when it is underground can be a very challenging task. In the first place, the tank might be very hard to get to. Therefore, the first step is to find a good way to get to the tank and make a big access point to the inside for easy cleaning. Once that is done, the area surrounding the tank and the top of the tank is cleaned. To ensure that no infestations occur due to dirty tools, the tools used for the cleaning process are first disinfected. Then, the inside of a tank is drained using a drain pump. Once all the water and sludge, if any, is removed, the inside cleaning process is started. Manual scrubbing is done to remove the dirt’s, sediments and fungi. This is followed by a high-pressure jet wash and then vacuum cleaning to remove the sludge. The inside of the tank is then disinfected and sprayed with anti-bacterial chemicals. The tank is then filled with water that is made to run through the taps to disinfect the pipes. Once the tank is completely drained and dried, the tank is cleaned and ready to be used again.
